Make Wayve the experience that defines your career!
We are looking for a System Architect -Robotaxi to help shape how Wayve AI Driver is deployed across advanced autonomous driving and robotaxi systems.
This role requires a strong understanding of ADAS / autonomous driving system architecture across vehicle platforms, sensors, compute, safety, and application layers, together with the ability to translate that into clear product and integration architecture. You will help define how Wayve AI Driver integrates into OEM and robotaxi platforms in both hardware and software, while working closely with internal architecture leaders and external partners to ensure a coherent, deployable system.
The role also requires strong judgement on where deployment-specific requirements should influence Wayve’s own product architecture, integration approach, and technical roadmap. You will connect system-level understanding with practical implementation, helping ensure that Wayve’s technology can scale across multiple products, OEMs, and deployment models.
You are a strong systems thinker who can reason across robotics or autonomous driving systems without losing sight of practical implementation.
You understand how complex products come together across hardware, software, ML, safety, and vehicle integration, and you can turn that understanding into crisp architecture and actionable decisions. You are comfortable working across domain boundaries, aligning different internal architecture owners, and representing technical architecture clearly to external partners.
You combine architectural judgment with hands-on technical depth and strong communication.
This is a full-time role based in our office in Sunnyvale or London preferably. At Wayve we want the best of all worlds so we operate a hybrid working policy that combines time together in our offices and workshops to fuel innovation, culture, relationships and learning, and time spent working from home.
